Pogrebin grew up in a family of secrets. Too many things judged shame-worthy. Perfect American Jews weren’t supposed to have miserable marriages, secret divorces, estranged brothers, an abandoned child, alcohol problems, etc. Her mother’s kitchen was kosher but she secretly fed Pogrebin bacon for her health. When Pogrebin learned her parents’ biggest secret about their prior lives — it shook her world.
